Hello! I'm Rebecca Rebbing, an American woman. I like cats and other cute animals, and my favorite fruit is the raspberry. My interests include literature,[1] women's fastpitch softball, Roman Catholicism, law (appellate and habeas procedure in particular), photography, engineering, and fashion. My background includes both law and computer programming.
As a Wikipedian, I primarily edit biographies of American women. I delight in making articles neat and pretty—I enjoy a nicely-formatted reference list. Some of my cleanup efforts can be seen at Flannery O'Connor, Betty Hester, and Marcia Hofmann. I can take credit for one short article, Hannah Pittard, and one complete rewrite, Gemma Booth; I also credit myself with an "AfD save" for Heather Maloney.
- ^ "Literature," I acknowledge, is a wide canopy. I could narrow it and say that I mostly read American and British literary fiction from the 19th century through present. Some examples: As a child, Mr. Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials left a lasting impression on me. I love the Brontë sisters' works, particularly Miss Charlotte's Villette. I believe The Bell Jar is remarkable, even though I was furious with the author when I finished it. I read A Midsummer Night's Dream, and, while I can appreciate Shakespeare's mastery, the language and metaphors were too dense and obscure for me to enjoy it. I greatly admire Miss Flannery O'Connor's short stories, my favorites being Greenleaf and A View of the Woods.
